William Byron Wins Daytona 500 As Wrecks Break Out Late
7 months agoWilliam Byron had his breakout season in 2023, and he is already continuing his winning ways in 2024. The No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet ended up in victory lane on Monday evening, with Byron claiming his second win at Daytona International Speedway over teammate Alex Bowman. Byron led just four of the 200 total laps, but he led the lap that meant the most. This is Byron's 11th win in his Cup Series career, quite a feat for a driver that is only 26 years old. After the race, the driver stated, "Just extremely blessed and thankful for all the opportunities. We just want to keep it going. We have a lot to prove this year, and this is a good start, obviously."
